Dynamic Fundamentals-Carbine/Rifle

This course is going to be fun and exhilarating, be prepared to run and gun, or at least move quickly. Multiple courses of fire will be used to improve & train fundamentals under dynamic conditions. We have added new drills not used in previous classes. Class is now 6 hours, used to be 4, this allows us to run more dynamic drills. We will start by reinforcing the importance of establishing fundamentals as a foundation from which we can operate and perform under stress and with an elevated heartrate. Drills will include reloads, multiple movements, multiple shooting positions, and cognitive thinking under simulated stress. These are high quality drills, with a low round count. 250-300 rounds is optimal , but even 200 will get you through. Multiple courses of fire will be used to improve & train fundamentals under dynamic conditions. Bring your rifle/carbine, two magazines, & magazine carrier (strongly recommended). Eye and ear protection required as always. Run your Duty gear, battle belts, plate carrier, or whatever gear you’d like. Pistols are welcome.
